Remarks as delivered.
Good afternoon. On behalf of the entire FBI, it’s an honor to be here today to remember Special Agent Dan Alfin.
Dan’s legacy is one of passion, dedication, and principle. It’s what you imagine when you think of a proud FBI agent who will do anything to catch the bad guy, and a devoted father who would do anything for his family.
Like yesterday, when we paid tribute to Special Agent Laura Schwartzenberger whose family also joins us in honoring Dan today there are no good words to make sense of a loss like this. For a day like today.

MS. PSAKI: Good afternoon. We have another special visitor and guest with us here today. The January jobs report, which we all saw came out this morning, is disappointing and underscores the need to act swiftly to deliver immediate relief to American families. The bottom line is our economy is digging out of a hole worse than the depths of the Great Recession at a crawling and moving at a crawling pace.
Today we’re joined by a member of the Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein, who will walk through the numbers reported today by the Department of Labor and how they serve to underline the urgency for the President’s Rescue Plan.
